Investment firm ARK Invest, led by CEO Cathie Wood, has strategically acquired $5 million worth of shares in Bullish exchange, coinciding with the platform’s official United States market debut. This significant investment follows Bullish’s successful acquisition of New York’s rigorous BitLicense and money transmission license, regulatory milestones enabling the exchange to commence trading operations across 20 American states.
The exchange has established key strategic partnerships with digital asset custody specialist BitGo and financial services firm Nonco to support its US market infrastructure. These collaborations will facilitate secure custody solutions and enhanced market access for American traders entering the Bullish ecosystem.
Bullish’s US launch represents a major expansion for the institutional-grade cryptocurrency exchange, bringing its unique order book technology and deep liquidity pools to qualified American investors. The platform’s entry into the competitive US digital asset marketplace signals growing institutional confidence in regulated cryptocurrency trading venues.
ARK Invest’s substantial share acquisition demonstrates continued institutional interest in cryptocurrency infrastructure plays, particularly those with robust regulatory compliance frameworks. This investment aligns with ARK’s broader strategy of targeting innovative financial technology companies positioned for growth in the evolving digital asset landscape.
